Pelikan 100nn--legit sale?

[nonymice]

Have been watching this Pelikan on the Bay and, after Badrsj's experience with scammers, am wondering if this is a good gamble. Anyone know anything about this pen or the sellers? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=009

 

Thanks much, all.

He or she may be legit;with 207 feedback they have 1 neg within 6 months and 1 neutral within a year.

Still,I think the consideration is caveat emptor(buyer beware).

I don't see any reason not to bid on this - what are you suspicious of about it?

 

Ebay is always going to be a risk, but there aren't as many scammers there as some people believe...... IMO.

I have purchased a few pens from this seller without any problems.

Received in good time and as described in the Ebay auction.

Is this a display/dummy pen?

There are no photos of the nib; the turning knob-to-barrel attachment looks strange (to me, at least); and the "Look model" imprint make me think this is a non-functional display pen.

 

I could be wrong, or that might be what you are expecting this to be, but thought I'd mention it.

I was wondering about the same thing and didn't bid on it. Thanks for reaffirming that observation (glad it wasn't just me). But it's nice to know others have bought from him and had good results, since he has a lot of pelikans and prices are reasonable.

Hi,

 

I saw this an was tempted to bid but as Schau Muster roughly translates as review model I guessed it might be a dummy, normally with this seller they show the nibs, so another giveaway.

 

Whilst I thought they might have mentioned this, the words 'look model' are not on the actual pen cap, so I wonder if this was their attempt at pointing this out.

 

I have always regarded them as a reliable seller, feed back is good and I have bid on several pens in the past (don't think I have one any though).
